I was never one to put much stock in New Year’s Resolutions. However, moving into 2011, I began to reflect on life. Much to my dismay, I am now eligible for senior discounts at restaurants and movie theaters - - - and dangerously close to the “old fart” classification. Never-the-less, I think I look younger than my years and hope to stick around for a while longer.
From a health perspective there were a few things that needed to be addressed. My last physical was more that 12 years ago. A complete physical resulted in an EKG, treadmill test; and the much dreaded, much delayed, colonoscopy. As if that weren’t bad enough, hemorrhoid surgery followed. With the mundane housekeeping stuff taken care of, it was time for a little self-indulgence and pleasure.
A walk in the park, a glass of wine, watching more sunsets, stopping to smell the roses, a relaxing massage; all old clichés, but still enjoyable.
How about something new and different? A spa treatment? Maybe some grooming changes?
Over the past 20 years, I had periodically done some manscaping. The look and feel of being shaved down there was pleasant, but the stubble and itchiness was not. Women had been waxing for years, and now the service was available to men.
After some research on the net, I was most impressed with the site for Acomoclitic Laser & Wax Studio and scheduled an appointment with the owner, Grace Power. What a lovely name, “Grace Power”. It seems to imply confidence and refinement (we will get back to that later).
Grace met me at the front desk. I was absolutely blown away. In front of me stood the most stunningly beautiful young woman I have ever seen. Delicate facial features, smooth creamy complexion, hair of gold, eyes that twinkle, a warm engaging smile, and a pair of legs six feet long. The vision of the “girl next door”, carried out to perfection. (I would subsequently find out that Grace has someone special in her life - - - a very lucky guy!)
Grace led me back to the treatment room, asked me to disrobe and hop up on the table. She briefly left the room to afford me some privacy. When she returned, she inquired if I had any other areas that needed hair removal other than the “Brazilian." We talked about a few options and I elected to follow her recommendations. I was instructed to flop down on my stomach, as she normally works the back and bottom areas first.
Grace was very professional, explained the process, responded to any questions that I had, placing me at ease. I plan on seeing Grace whenever she is available, and possibly one of the other estheticians when she isn’t. Grace assures me they are equally skilled in their craft.
Best Wishes, Mark L.
